Notes

set up this little notes feed today 🛠️

• dated, monthly, no algorithm
• dev logs / links / film + game notes / frames
• short stuff that doesn't deserve a whole post

basically my corner of the internet

finally got to the end of it 🚗

• the station wagon really does become a character
• the run loop gets a touch grindy in the back third

still — nothing else feels quite like it

TIL text-wrap: pretty is finally wide enough to just use ✨

headings stop orphaning a lonely last word on their own — no more manual <br> hacks. small thing, makes type feel intentional.

rauno's site is a clinic in interaction detail 🔗

the kind of polish you only really notice when it's missing. been stealing ideas all week.

shipped the storefront 🛒

• stripe checkout, end to end
• coupons + a saved address
• order history that isn't painful

the cart math was the fiddly part, naturally

ranked by how often it actually lands in a project, not by merit 🔤 ask me again next month

everything on the site is db-backed now 🗄️

projects, games, media, shop — and these notes. means i can post without shipping a deploy. worth the yak-shave.

shot a roll of HP5 downtown 📷

grey afternoon, which is exactly what it's for. three or four keepers — they'll land in the archive once i scan them.

the thing that finally made server components click for me 🧠

stop asking "server or client component?" — ask "where does this data live?" the boundary mostly draws itself after that.

wim wenders — watched it twice in a week 🎬

• a whole film about noticing things
• "komorebi" has lived in my head since

left me wanting to live a little more deliberately. rare.

added a quiet ambient audio layer to the site 🎧

off by default, obviously — nobody wants a website that makes noise at them. been tinkering with a tiny web-audio visualizer to go with it.

josh comeau's css writing is still the gold standard 🔗

send it to anyone who tells you css is easy. or that it's impossible. somehow both are true.

first roll of portra 400 in a while 📷

forgot how forgiving it is — golden hour basically does the work for you. hard to take a bad frame on it.

the motion docs got a proper glow-up 🔗

half my "how do i animate this" googling now just ends here. nice when a tool's docs are this good.

rigorous, peer-reviewed (by me) 🍫

starting a notes feed 👋

short stuff that doesn't earn a whole blog post — links, dev logs, frames, half-thoughts. let's see if i actually keep it up.
